Aquifer mapping is a multidisciplinary and a holistic scientific approach wherein a
combination of geologic, geophysical, hydrologic and chemical analysis is applied to
characterize the quantity, quality and sustainability of ground water in aquifers. In recent
past, there has been a paradigm shift from “groundwater development” to “groundwater
management”. As large parts of India particularly hard rocks have become water stressed
due to rapid growth in demand for water due to population growth, irrigation, urbanization
and changing life style. Therefore, in order to have an accurate and comprehensive microlevel picture of groundwater in India, aquifer mapping in different hydrogeological settings at
the appropriate scale is devised and implemented, to enable robust groundwater management
plans. This will help in achieving drinking water security, improved irrigation facility and
sustainability in water resources development in large parts of rural and many parts of urban
India. The aquifer mapping program is important for planning suitable adaptation strategies
to meet climate change also. Thus the crux of National Aquifer Mapping (NAQUIM) is not
merely mapping, but reaching the goal-that of ground water management through community
participation.
